My invention relates to improvements in devices. for exhibiting ordisplaying small mechandise.

The object of my invention is to produce a device of this generalcharacter in the use of which a variety of small merchandise may bereadily and conveniently displayed, and ready for distribution or sale.

I accomplish this by means of the device hereinafter more specificallydescribed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming parthereof in which,

Figure 1, is an elevation of my improved goods exhibition rack;

Figure, 2, is a section on line 2--2 of Figure 1; p Figure 3, is afragmentary plan view'of the supporting spider;

Figure 4, is a fragmentary view of the lower portion of the device,showing the standard in section;

Figures 5 and 6 are details showing respec tively a plan view and anelevation of the partition plate.

Referring to said drawings, 1, is a base or stand having a centrallydisposed orifice 2,- in which the lower end oft'he shaft 3 is mountedfor rotation. A roller-bearing b is positioned in the cup-shaped recessa, in the lower end of the orifice, upon which the lower end of theshaft 3, is mounted, said shaft having a concave bearing in which theroller bearing 1) is seated. The said stand near the upper end thereof,is provided with are cess in which is seated an anti-friction bearingrace Way, which race way comprises the annulus or rings 0, d, the ring dbeing rigidly secured to the shaft, and the ring 0 being rigidly securedin said recess, whereby the ring cl rotates with the shaft upon the ballbearing seated between the said ring 03 and the said ring 0, wherebysaid shaft is held against lateral movement and wear thereof isprevented. A spider 4, is rigidly secured upon the shaft by any means,as for instance a A rotatable display rack, comprising a 75 thumb screwor other suitable device. A series of plates 6 are mounted upon theshaft one above the other as shown in Figure 1, the said plates formingplatforms for the reception of small merchandise; the said platformsbeing divided into series of compartments by the partition plates 5, theinner ends of which are seated in slots 6 vertically formed in the tubes7 which surround said shaft 3 approximately its entire length, the saidtubes being rigidly mounted and secured upon said shaft. The upper andlower edges of said partition are provided with a flange h, as shown,for the purpose of producing rigidity therein and furnishing a suitablesupport for the platform plates immediately above the same. Ininstalling the said plates to form partitions in the structure, theinner ends are shoved into the recesses in the thimble and the outeredges brought in close contact with the annular flange on the platformplates 6, whereby the said platform plates are divided into series ofspaces or compartments in which the small merchandise is located for thepurpose of display and to be readily accessible for sale.

, Having described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent stand having a recess in its'upper end thereof in whichan anti-friction bearing is seated, and having a central verticallydisposed socket therein, a shaft rotatably seated in said socket, oneportion of the anti-friction bear- .30

ing being secured to said shaft whereby the said shaft is held againstlateral movement and wear thereof is prevented, a member rigidly mountedon said shaft, a tube surrounding said shaft approximately the entirelength thereof and rigidlysecured thereto, the said tube having seriesof vertically, disposed grooves, in combination with a frame substantially cylindrical in configuration and including a series ofvertically disposed plates arranged radially with relation to said tube,the inner ends of said plates being inserted in the grooves in saidtube, and a series of horizontally disposed circular platforms arrangedone above the other, the said vertically disposed plates subdividing thesaid platforms into series of compartments for the reception of smallmerchandise.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.

JOSEPH HUNYADY.
